{{examples}}
* "Venus In Furs" by [[The Velvet Underground]] is almost certainly the [[Trope Maker]], way back in 1967. It's the title of a book about a man who enjoys being dominated by a rich woman, whom he calls his "Venus in furs." The book is old enough and well-known enough that James Joyce referred to it in the Nightown chapter of ''Ulysses''.
** The very name of the band (The Velvet Underground) comes from a book about New York City's BDSM scene.
* "Pain", by [[Three Days Grace]] is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|about exactly what you'd expect]]. This is one possible interpretation.
* "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by Iggy and the Stooges. Iggy Pop alluded to it being about bondage in an interview. The lyrics are not so subtle.
* A very early [[David Bowie]] song, "Little Toy Soldier," borrows some lyrics from Venus in Furs for very creepy results since it's about a [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour|child's toy.]]
* "The Bondage Song" by London After Midnight
* "White Poem I" by [[X Japan]]. Both the music video and the live performance are BDSM scenes featuring [[Yoshiki Hayashi]] as the sub. The live performance during Dahlia Tour is unique because it is an actual domination scene with Yoshiki being actually blindfolded, cuffed, whipped, and kicked around for real... and definitely enjoying every moment of it.
* "Catharsis (Heal Me; Control Me)" by SITD
Line 27:
* "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)": "Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused" indeed.
* "Handsome Devil" by [[The Smiths]] has elements of this. "I crack the whip And you skip But you deserve it", etc.
** "Reel Around The Fountain" as well.
* "[[The Masochism Tango]]" by [[Tom Lehrer]], although it is an [[Unbuilt Trope|unbuilt parody]] of the genre, (as well as of [[Slap Slap Kiss]] tango dances. It's ''Tom Lehrer'' after all...)
** Updated with [[The Amateur Transplants]], who made the original sound rather vanilla.
Line 44:
* "Pretty Tied Up" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
* The [[Anime]] ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' featured an [[Image Song]] on a soundtrack CD called ''Ojou-sama to O-yobi'', which loosely translates to "Call Me Mistress/Princess." It is sung by the [[Ojou]] Princess [[Beware the Nice Ones|Ayeka]]. The song involves her explaining to Tenchi that she is going to put him through [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|''Juraian Bridegroom Training'']]. Especially after the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAJM30VOl5A music video], this song became a [[Never Live It Down]] moment in [[Fanon]] for both Ayeka and her people. And the creepy thing about it? Even [[Token Mini-Moe|Sasami]] helps Ayeka out in her training.
* Similiar to the Tenchi example, there is a [[Weiss Kreuz]] song called ''Bosanova, Casanova'' with some [http://www.kekkai.org/wkcorner/media/bosanovacasanova.html provocative lyrics]. And since it is a duet between male singers, it even plays into the show's [[Ho Yay]] factor.
* "Hell in a Bucket" by the [[Grateful Dead]].
* "She Whipped" by Peter Tägtgren's Pain.
* "Blood, Sex and Booze" and "Dominated Love Slave" by [[Green Day]].
* "Little Mary Sunshine" from ''[[Reefer Madness
* Then, of course, there's "S&M (A Love Song)" and "Spank" by the Kidneythieves, the former featuring such lyrics as "pound the love out of me / beat the love out of me!" and in the latter "thick drops of rain sound like the way you spanked me / your pleasure thrills in every way you make me."
* By Vice Squad, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Latex Love"]] and "Spikey Hair."
Line 61:
** The Rin Kagamine song ''Iroha Uta'' opens up with a list of the various things the singer wants to be tied up with. The rest of the song is a touch more subtle, but the implications are still there.
** "Watashi no Inu" ('my dog') is another [[Vocaloid]] example.
* Shackles and Whips both feature prominently in the bridge of [[Justin Timberlake]]'s ''Sexyback''.
* Even The Go Gos have one - one of their early punk songs was called "Fun With Ropes".
* The Marginal Prophets' "Mistress" is an ode to S&M.
Line 67:
* [[Lady Gaga]]'s "Teeth"
{{quote|"Take a bite of my bad girl meat...I'm gonna love you with my hands tied/show me your teeth"}}
** "Heavy Metal Lover" and "I Like It Rough" also play with this trope technically.
* Of course, Ludo's "The Horror of Our Love".
* "House Of Wolves" by [[My Chemical Romance]] has shades of this.
Line 85:
* "My Latex Queen" by Dark Funeral.
* There's a few songs by the [[Deftones]] with BDSM overtones, occasionally overlapping with [[Lyrical Dissonance]].
* Mainstream example: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|S&M]] by [[Rihanna]]. Lyrics:
{{quote|I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Line 106:
* Razed in Black is yet another band that it's difficult to find a song in their discography that doesn't fit the trope.
* "Spread Your Legs" by Funker Vogt.
* The upbeat hit "Hurt So Good" by John Mellencamp.
{{quote|Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby...}}
* "Lace and Leather" by [[Britney Spears]] falls into this..even with a eletro guitar present.
** "Selfish" also mentions similar lyrics compared to "Lace and Leather"
* While there is no specific bondage mentioned, [[The Police]] song, "Wrapped around your finger" is about a dominatrix/submissive relationship (that changes places at the end).
* "Bata Motel" by Crass, much like "Oh Bondage, Up Yours," is both an [[Obligatory Bondage Song]] and a harsh rebuke of sexism in modern media and the fashion industry.
